The influence of soil properties on the structure of bacterial and fungal communities across land-use types (2008, background): “In accordance with multiple surveys of fungal to bacterial biomass, we observed that fungal:bacterial ratios were greater in forest soils than in agricultural or grassland soils (Bailey et al., 2002; Bossuyt et al., 2001; Högberg et al., 2007; Treseder, 2004).”
Microbial activity and soil respiration under nitrogen addition in Alaskan boreal forest (2008, background): “This pattern is critical because fungi are believed to be the most important regulators of soil C and nutrient cycling in ecosystems with low soil pH, such as boreal forests (Fierer & Jackson, 2006; Högberg et al., 2007).”
Vineyard soil bacterial diversity and composition revealed by 16S rRNA genes: Differentiation by geographic features (2015, background): “…soil texture, pH, water content, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content, and C:N ratio, and the ability of soil microorganisms to influence their own environment (Drenovsky et al., 2004; Cookson et al., 2006; Fierer and Jackson, 2006; Hogberg et al., 2007; Lauber et al., 2009; Fierer et al., 2012).”
